“…Leigh and Anthony-Tolbert (2001) and Magnussen (1991) reported similar results. Consequently, their findings coupled with those of Lynn and Martin (1977) and our results, suggest a strong argument for a link between depression and psychological development.…”

“…Examining the psychological adaptation of boys and girls, Leigh and Anthony-Tolbert (2001) found in assessing the reliability of the Beck Depression Inventory-II that females showed more depression than males for both test and retest scores. This finding was supported by Lynn and Martin (1997) who conducted a survey spanning 37 countries using three personality traits: extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism.…”

This study investigated factors considered as having an influence on the psychological adaptation of college students. Participants were 1,134 students from Wu Han University, in the Hui Bei province, of China, giving the study an impressive response rate of 99%. Results of the study indicate that factors such as "parental occupations", "parental education", "interest in major", "body image", "place raised in", and "gender" have a significant correlation with the psychological adaptation of college students in China. A significant relationship was found between fathers' education and occupation and college students' levels of anxiety and depression.

“…Similarly, using the Beck Depression Inventory -II on fifty-three Deaf College students, Leigh and Anthony-Tolbert noted found 26% of the students to be severely depressed at some point in life. However, the findings from the study of Leigh and Anthony-Tolbert did not reveal differences in depressive symptoms based on onset of hearing loss [17]. In their 5 year retrospective study, Black and Glickman observed a higher rate of depression among deaf patients compared to 8.8 percent in the hearing patients at Westborough State Hospital in Massachusetts, USA [18].…”

Introduction: Hearing loss is a silent disability that reduces the hearing acuity of an individual and makes it difficult to perceive or interpret auditory signals. Persons with hearing loss are a heterogeneous group comprising of diverse and complex psychosocial characteristics of individuals who does not readily enjoy the empathy/sympathy received by other forms of disabilities that is readily visible. Hearing loss usually predisposes sufferers to resentment, hostility, rejection and subtle denial resulting to a cascading effect on socio-emotional development and could ultimately lead to depression.Objective: This study assessed the extent and trend of studies on depression among individuals with hearing loss which are domiciled online data bases and to establish the strengths and limitation of such studies in Nigeria. Methods:To conduct this systematic review, a thorough search across multiple databases was undertaken, based upon five search facets ("depression", "depressive symptoms", "hearing loss", "deaf" and "hard of hearing"). Five electronic databases, key texts and references in the articles identified were scrutinized for article that have in their title "depression" and "hearing loss". Results:Data gathered revealed that hearing loss is significantly associated with depression while the onset and degrees of hearing loss poses to be a major correlate of depressive symptoms among the elderly. The study revealed that there is a dearth of studies which distinguished between communication options, parental involvement, socioeconomic status or birth order of the Deaf respondents/participants in relation to depression in their studies. Conclusion:There is a great tendency for depression among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing which may as well instigate suicidal thoughts. This study observed a dearth of studies on depression and its associated symptoms among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing in Nigeria and the Sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, psychologist and other mental health workers should not take for granted any depressive symptoms among persons with hearing loss.

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Much of this work was based on the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), which has been validated for assessing Deaf college students. 6 However, assessing depressive symptoms in the general D&HH population is complicated by linguistic and literacy issues. Only 13% of D&HH persons ever attended college (versus approximately 30% of hearing persons), 10 and the mean reading level among people who lose their hearing at a young age is at the 4th to 6th grade level.…”

“…Although video-based instruments are a potential solution, these remain relatively impractical for the average medical office. 6,15 To examine the potential validity of such scales for Deaf persons, we evaluated signed versus written forms of a common instrument, the Zung Self-Rated Depression Scale (ZSDS), 16 along with a Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) 17 interview conducted in ASL. We chose the ZSDS rather than the BDI-II, which is the only instrument that has been shown to be accurate in Deaf persons.…”

Background: Evidence suggests that Deaf people may have a greater prevalence of depressive symptoms. However, it is unclear whether commonly used written screening instruments are accurate with this population because of their unique cultural and linguistic factors.Setting: Deaf persons (n ‫؍‬ 71) residing in southeastern Michigan. Methods: Subjects completed the Zung Self-Rated Depression Scale in both the written (ZSDS-W) and American Sign Language (ZSDS-S) formats and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) in American Sign Language in counterbalanced order, followed by a Test Of Reading Comprehension (TORC). They also provided extensive data on demographic, hearing loss, language use, social and health care use variables.Results: Mean subject age was 52 years, 63% of subjects were women, 95% were Caucasian, and 47% were married (87% to another deaf/hard of hearing person). Thirty percent had a college degree and 20% had less than a 10th grade education. The ZSDS-W and ZSDS-S scores were highly correlated (r ‫؍‬ ؉0.79), although the mean ZSDS-W score was 2.8 points higher (P ‫؍‬ .001). The ZSDS-S correlated more highly (r ‫؍‬ 0.80) with the HAM-D than the ZSDS-W (r ‫؍‬ 0.71). There was a significant interaction effect (P < .001) such that the ZSDS-W and HAM-D were significantly associated among higher literacy subjects (␤ ‫؍‬ 0.80, P < .001) but not lower literacy subjects (␤ ‫؍‬ 0.20, P ‫؍‬ .183). There were no other significant associations between depression scores and numerous demographic, educational, hearing loss, social or language variables.
